Palestine

Palestine refers to a region in the Middle East historically inhabited by Palestinians, comprising the modern territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The area has a complex history marked by conflict, notably between Jewish and Arab populations, particularly since the early 20th century with the rise of nationalism. The State of Palestine was declared in 1988 and is recognized by many countries, though its sovereignty and borders remain disputed. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to shape the region's dynamics, impacting local communities and international relations.
